JERUSALEM — Israel and Lebanon agreed Wednesday to implement a ceasefire deal that’s missing one crucial party to the fighting raging in Lebanon: Hezbollah.
The powerful Iranian-backed militant group, which is not part of the Lebanese government and was not present at the talks held at the State Department in Washington, did not immediately respond to the deal’s announcement.
